• A peacock has escaped from the Bronx Zoo, which is slightly less dangerously exciting than a cobra. Nonetheless, according to the Daily News, Bronx residents "were thrilled at the sight of the peacock eating a hamburger bun and took pictures with their cell phones." The zoo's curator of ornithology says, "Usually, they wander back on their own. They want to be at the zoo. There's lots of food and less traffic." [Fox]
